Burrow throws 4 TDs, Battle has pair of interceptions as Bengals beat Dolphins 31-24
Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals threw four touchdown passes and had help from safety Jordan Battle, who recorded two interceptions, leading the Bengals to a 31-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Burrow completed 23 of 32 passes for 190 yards, targeting tight ends Mike Gesicki and Tanner Hudson, as well as running back Samaje Perine.
Despite Ja’Marr Chase being questionable due to a concussion, he contributed significantly by catching six passes for 77 yards, including a highlight-reel, one-handed 45-yard touchdown catch that extended the Bengals' lead to 28-10. The Dolphins, coming off a 0-5 record, managed to get within 7 points with 45 seconds remaining through a 1-yard touchdown run by Malik Willis, but Burrow's precision and the Bengals' defense ultimately prevailed.
